Almost Touch the Morning

Picture
I was leaving the YMCA after working out with a heart full of JOY and the PRESENCE of GOD! I felt Jesus so close, so near that I was about to burst! "This must be a little touch of what Heaven must be like," I whispered to the Lord. I could not help but sing a song to Him.

This is the song I sang to the Lord. The words just tumbled out. This song, more than any other song I've written, expresses the JOY I feel in HIS PRESENCE! I can't wait for Heaven! I can't wait to see Him face to face! WOW! It is so good to belong to Jesus! :)
I came home and sat down at my keyboard, chording this song in 5 minutes. It really is a simple song: simple melody, simple chords. And truthfully, it expresses the simple wonder of belonging to Christ, knowing that I will one day be with Him forever, but for now I can rejoice in a little taste of Heaven, His Spirit in me, Christ in me, the Hope of Glory! :)

Scriptures to ponder: Revelation 21 & 22, Philippians 3:12-21, Colossians 3:1-4
